Dealing Well with Distress by Meditating on Predestination (Family Worship, Ps 4:3–8)

What are the dangers when we are distressed, and how should we deal with them? Pastor leads his family in today's "Hopewell @Home" passage. Psalm 4:3–8 prepares us for the opening portion of morning public worship on the coming Lord's Day. In these six verses, the Holy Spirit teaches us that when we are in distress, we are in danger of fuming anger, unbelieving scheming, and ungrateful despair; but the Lord has granted unto us to deal with these by meditating upon the sweet doctrine of predestination.
